This is why people need to understand the Libertarian Party and it's policies about tax reductions and flat taxation. We don't want the power, we want to reduce government influence in areas of personal and business transactions. The idea is to reduce government everywhere in Ontario. The last 13-14 years of this has shown that drunken spending can easily be cured by over taxation. One just has to look a the current electoral map of Ontario and see how the current liberals has less than 10% of province in size, but control the province with a majority. In all those liberal spots, hydro is subsidised at 2/3 cheaper than rural Ontario. The sad and undemocratic point is EVERY SINGLE RURAL vote is mute, not valid, not applicable and will have no effect on the elections results. This has been set up this way over the last 8 yrs and the liberals are virtually assured of another majority in 2019...if people do not wake up.
The only reason why she cares right now is the Global News coverage at Christmas, and Hydro One - enough is enough Facebook page. These two factors have proven the facts that rural rates are higher as people have posted bills online to show this. The governments reaction was order H1 to reconnect 1400 people of 60,000 people disconnected this year and living without hydro. The media storm exposed the 60,000 without hydro. It has gone from the news now..but everyone who had the hydro reconnected also had limiters imposed on home. This limiter only allows 30AMPs per day, if you exceed you are done for the day. No dryer, no stove, no electric heat. 90% of those 60,000 people are rural rate payer (votes don't count)
How is it that this is allowed to occur with rape and pillage of the most vulnerable.
